May want to clarify in the title that the deal includes a total of (4) 5.0Ah batteries.
Scroll down to the "Specifications" table where it lists Battery/Charger:
(4) 5 Ah Batteries & Charger Included

You can return the batteries for a prorated price and get the kit with 2 batteries for even less.

I wouldn't even return the batteries. This is a steal. I bought this saw last time it hit this price and it was a God send. Ripped down half frozen water logged 2x8's with absolutely no problem. The saw has great power and the weight makes it great for ripping cuts.

All of the guys I worked with went for this saw over the company Milwaukee stuff due to how good it is.

How does one do this and how much do you end up saving?

Thanks, this deal is slick! I wanted to expand my lineup of Makita tools but battery cost makes it hard.

They are both brushless, just that the one you linked has top handle while the OP has rear handle.

What is the prorated return of the extra batteries? Really tempted but already have a half dozen batteries.

Isn't the one from OP is for right hand holding (with rear handle) and the 2nd link is for left hand holding (w top handle)?

Both right and left handed people use either type of saw.

Reasons to choose a blade left or blade right saw:
  • Sight lines (though cut-outs in blade guards are getting much better)
  • Where the chips/sawdust fly (somewhat negated if the saw has good dust collection)
  • How you set up and hold your cuts (which side is the cut-off)
  • Where your hands and body are in relation to the blade
  • What you are accustomed to using
  • Worm Drive/Rear Handle saws only come blade left (as far as I know)
Some people have very strong feelings about which is best, but it is ultimately up to the individual user to choose which attributes are most important to them.
